Sun, 22 Feb 2015 01:05:08 GMTVisually, tactically, and practically - this is a killer stone.
It's not a super hard Awase, no - it has a hint of softness but it is 'not' a soft stone at all.
It's hard enough to finish on, hard enough to make a really sweet edge.
Has a few Namazu streaks to keep things interesting.

This is a full sized stone with good depth, so it's a little heavy, 1190 g or so. That's 2.5 lb of Karasu.
Sealed, lapped, tested, approved, etc.

If you need/want Tomo or Mikawa Nagura sets with Koma to go with this stone or another - just shoot me a PM.

4 ounces of artisan luxury shaving soap in a varnished tin screw top tin. Each puck is wrapped in paper and can be placed back into the tin for travel, or pressed into a mug for use. These are soft soaps that lather very easily. All of them are veggie soaps that lather like tallow (and the Wisp is actually tallow). The scents are phenomenal. Just take a look at all that's available. These are chosen from the pull down menu above (next to pictures, under the title of the listing).

Forged: With activated charcoal for skin purifying cleansing. The scent of Forged is a combination of vetiver and spice mixed with black pepper, cucumber, and basil, cooled off with a hint of lemon and lime.

Tinder: Citrus and Spice scents combining Orange peel, mandarin, and lime with sandal wood, amber and a touch of musk.

Ember: Warm sweet spices of sandalwood, amber and musk are paired with nutmeg and coriander, and then lightened with mandarin, bergamot, and clary sage.

Kindling: Lime, Mint and lavender combine with a musk to create a unique scent that if fresh and herbaceous.

Extinguish: Finally a menthol scent in the ttffcraft line! The soap is like a delicious Raspberry gelato! Sweet raspberry tops a sour lemon scent which layers nicely over a nice level of menthol. Not overly mild, but you will still be able to feel your face!

Chocolate Orange: Lemon, bergamot and mandarin, lily of the valley and coriander mix with dark chocolate, warm vanilla and musk. This is a fairly sweet scent, yet balanced nicely with the fresh citrus notes.

Spring Fern: A Fougere, but in a light, sharp, green way. Bergamot, geranium, lavender, cedar wood and oak combine to transport the user to a springtime forest.

Wisp: Tallow barbershop returns! Recently changed the scent to have more citrus notes. Orange peel, bergamot, sage and spice mix to take you back on just a "wisp" of the scent to a time when time moved slower and all the local barbershops offered shaves. The addition of tallow creates a soap that explodes with an extra slick lather.

Payment and Shipping Details

Paypal only. Shipping is First Class with tracking. If you'd like another means of shipping let me know. These will be sent in a bubble mailer with some extra bubble wrap around it for protection. These tins are sturdy and will ship just fine.

To Customers and Potential Customers,
Things are busy. Too busy!
For those with work in my shop at present, I apologize for the amount of time your jobs are taking. I ask that you be...UPDATE: 2/10/15

For those with work in my shop at present, I apologize for the amount of time your jobs are taking. I ask that you be patient and realize that I am painstakingly giving your razors the meticulous care and attention that they deserve.

I simply have had more razors come in, than I can do within a reasonable period of time.

I work a full-time, suit-and-tie, corporate job in the pharmaceutical industry and RazorPlate is my hobby. I have to squeeze-in my replating work around the demands of my day job and the needs of my family (wife and two children). Because of this, my turnaround times have gotten RIDICULOUS.

Please know, that unlike some plating services, which sub-contract work to outside, industrial plating facilities, my business model is different. I am a formally-trained scientist and I do EVERY step of each razor, myself, in my own lab. NOTHING ever leaves my shop until it is finished and on the way back to its rightful owner.

This type of work takes time. I have earned my reputation by providing meticulous attention to detail and customer service. I will not let my quality standards suffer by rushing jobs and not giving each razor the amount of attention that it deserves.

The problem is, I am so far behind that I am having to quote insane turnaround times. This is not fair to my customers and potential customers.

So......until further notice, I have stopped taking-in work - until I get some of the backlog taken care of. Once I have gotten through the work that has piled-up, I will be in better shape to offer my services in a more expedient manner.

I will post notice here and on my website, when I begin accepting new work!

I am, in no way, limiting my services. Nor, am I going anywhere. Do not worry about that!

I do this because I enjoy it, NOT because I depend on it to support my family.

I just want to make sure that I am able to continue to offer the best razor replating that I can, get some of this backlog and horrendous turnaround times taken care of - and, most important, make sure that I keep things in perspective and balanced with the work-life equation.

Thanks to all, for your tremendous support and all the kind words about my work. I look forward to continuing to serve you - but will be able to do so, much better, once I get this backlog of work cleared-out.

Sat, 07 Feb 2015 19:10:43 GMTHere's a nice sized Asagi Jnat, or Japanese Natural Whetstone. While it's not a perfect rectangle, I can tell you that the missing corner doesn't mean a thing when honing. I just used this one to set a bevel using Botan slurry and that went very well. When using Tomo Nagura slurry - the feedback is very smooth and silky, clear and readable.
This is a hard stone - but not 'very hard' - it's fairly easy to finish on with water only laps, but very light slurry works well to finish also.

Originally - this was lapped to about 400x and while that was fine, subsequent honing and polishing with several different types of Nagura have put a really sweet surface on it. This stone likes to be matte - not highly polished, so I wouldn't recommend trying to achieve a mirrored surface on it.

The sides are sealed in black Cashew Lacquer, and the bottom was sealed with clear so you can see the Kawa or skin.
Admittedly - this one isn't the prettiest option on the market; the greenish hue that shows more when wet is very continuous and without much patterning. This is actually a plus for a workhorse stone; it's very continuous throughout the top and assumedly top to bottom also - and, as a result - it's a solid performer.

I have two of these, and performance-wise, they're identical; I'm going to keep the other one because it's a bit larger and it has a major fissure that doesn't bother me but I'm assuming someone else might feel differently. This one here is extremely stable, reliable and predictable. The bottom isn't absolutely dead flat but it's more than flat enough to hone on without issue. It's hand holdable for me, but it is a full size stone that's over 1" thick; I prefer to hone on the bench most of the time anyway and it's pefect for me in that regard.

Mikawa Shiro Nagura - I have a few extra matched 3 piece sets, and a couple Koma that match those sets as well.
Inquire if you're interested.

SOLD I also have one matched and sealed Koukyuu 4 piece set available. This is what I'd call an heirloom set of larger Nagura.
These pieces have been culled by me over several shipments and each one is, IMO - a real star.
Esp the Koma on the right, that one was in my personal set for a long while - it's a really sweet piece.

Price for the Nagura Set - SOLD $300.00 - Conus USPS Priority shipping with insurance included.

SOLD Ohira Renge Suita Tomo Nagura

A large stone, weighing over 300 g. Perfect for raising a slurry on any Suita or Awase. This one has a bit of softness and it literally bleeds strawberry Renge slurry pretty quickly. This is a mid-range stone; and when used on a hard finisher the slurry breaks down very fine and the resulting edges are quite nice. With practice - you can actually hone right on the top, the long side is 4" or so.

Price SOLD - $70.00 - Conus USPS priority shipping with insurance is an additional $8.00.
